Chapter 71 Even if I were to become a concubine to the proprietor, I would still be willing!
by Jessie@AFNCCChapter 71 Even if I were to become a concubine to the proprietor, I would still be willing!
The facade of the Jade Cuisine Pavilion looked average, and the decoration was relatively plain and simple, not as good as the Lu Family’s Spiritual Symbol Shop.
But business is also good inside, and it’s not even meal time yet, and it’s mostly full.
After the two of them found a seat, Lu Miaogue ordered two dishes and two portions of spirit rice from the shopkeeper.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh, “Sister Miaoge, there’s no need to save for me, I’ve still saved some spirit stones over the years.”
He’s also come up in condition over the past six months.
So there were quite a few spirit stones left to be saved.
He counted three hundred and six before he left the house.
Thirty spirit stones were left at home as family expenses, while the rest were all carried on his person.
So it wasn’t stingy to invite Lu Miaogao to dinner.
“Two dishes are enough for us, more is a waste.”
Lu Miaogao said with a light smile.
In the past half a year at the Fourth Elder’s place to learn talisman making together, the two of them also became quite familiar with each other.
This light smile is no longer as it was at the beginning, with a faint detachment, just a polite light smile that seems much more natural.
“OK.”
Lu Changsheng sniffed and didn’t say anything more.
Before long, the store assistant carried a water lily the size of a face basin and placed it on the table.
The water lily bud opened automatically, revealing two dishes and two bowls of crystal clear spiritual rice inside, steaming and fragrant.
“This ‘Carp Soup’ is the signature here, it uses red-blooded carp from the ‘Bihu Mountain Yu Family’, I order it every time I come over, try it.”
Lu Miaogao pointed at a colorful fish soup and said.
“Red Blood Carp from the Bihu Mountain Yu Family? Could it be that this restaurant is owned by the Bihu Mountain Yu Family?”
Lu Changsheng sniffed and asked with some surprise.
The Bihu Mountain Yu Family was also a major Immortal Cultivation Family under the jurisdiction of the Qing Yun Sect.
There were three Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivators in the clan, which was one level stronger than the Lu Family of Green Bamboo Mountain.
And this Red Blood Carp is the specialty of Bihu Mountain.
It’s a bit like the Jasper Bamboo Wine from Green Bamboo Mountain, Jade Spirit Rice.
“The owner of this restaurant is married to a daughter of the Bihu Mountain Yu Family, so he is able to purchase a steady batch of red-blooded carp from the Yu Family every month.”
Lu Miaogao said softly.
“So it is.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and didn’t ask too many questions, tasting a mouthful of carp soup.
He felt a strong but unctuous fresh flavor that spread from his mouth all the way to his stomach, then to his belly, and subsequently to his brain, leaving him with a long aftertaste.
“Yummy!”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but marvel.
He thought he was used to tasting mountains and seas of delicious food in the Lu family, but this carp soup was really fresh.
“The chef here, is also a spirit chef, right?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
Although this Red Blood Carp was a kind of spiritual fish, if it wasn’t a spiritual chef, it wouldn’t be able to make this kind of flavor.
“That’s right, the chef here is the owner of this store, a spirit chef.”
“He also has more favorable prices here compared to other places, so business has been good.”
Lu Miaoge said softly.
Pointing to another dish, he said, “This one is earth mole meat, and the flavor is also very good, it’s also considered one of the signatures here.”
Lu Changsheng picked up a piece of meat and tasted it, the skin was crispy and tender, the meat juice was overflowing, lubricated and refreshing, he couldn’t help but pick up another piece.
Nodding his head in approval, he said, “Yummy.”
At this time, he saw that Lu Miaogao did not move her chopsticks, so she looked at herself to enjoy the food.
I couldn’t help but voice out, “Sister Miaoge, why don’t you eat ah, eat together.”
“Good.”
Lu Miaogao nodded gently before picking up her chopsticks and picking up the earth mole meat.
She eats with very graceful movements, but she eats very fast.
Lu Changsheng had only taken two or three bites, but she had already taken seven or eight.
When Lu Changsheng’s rice was only a small half bowl, Lu Miaogao had already finished eating.
“Uh-huh.”
Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he saw this scene.
I couldn’t believe that a woman as light and elegant as an immortal as Lu Miaogao was actually behaving like this when she ate her meal.
“I usually eat, rather quickly.”
Lu Miaogao also felt that she was a bit rude and a bit embarrassed, and a touch of blush surfaced on her stunningly beautiful, dusty face.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m the one who eats too slowly.”
Lu Changsheng guffawed, feeling that the young lady in front of him was suddenly a lot more cute and intimate.
Sure enough, there are not so many fairies and goddesses in the world that can only be viewed from afar but not blasphemed.
It was just that the gap between the two was so large that it made the other party seem unattainable, and that’s why there was this feeling, this illusion.
It’s just like that when you really get close and get along.
He immediately beckoned the shopkeeper to add two more dishes and rice.
“No, I’m full.”
Seeing this, Lu Miaogao spoke out, taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping her mouth.
“Okay.”
Lu Changsheng sniffed and didn’t force himself, then finished the rest of his meal and went to pay.
Two dishes and two servings of spiritual rice, a total of four spiritual stones.
No wonder Lu Miaogao only ordered two dishes, because the price was indeed a bit expensive.
Like when he first came to the Lu family, his monthly was only two spirit stones.
Now four spirit stones had been eaten in one meal.
But Lu Changsheng was not too distressed.
Thought it was a good price.
The carp soup and mole cricket meat are both spiritual food, and the rice is also spiritual rice, which can nourish the body after eating.
He could still feel the small belly of his dantian, and the slow flow of aura in his meridians.
Moreover, the process of tasting the food is very enjoyable as it satisfies both the body and mind.
It was that he had just watched Lu Miaoguo eating so lovely, thinking that in the future, if he was fine, he could invite Lu Miaoguo to dinner more often to draw closer.
But now that I think about it, forget it.
With his current financial resources, it’s not allowed.
When all the talismans on his body are out, it’s more or less the same to exchange them for spirit stones.
“Sister Miaoge, is there a place in this Nine Dragons Market where loose cultivators set up stalls to trade?”
Lu Changsheng inquired towards Lu Miaogao.
He had also thought about selling talismans and purchasing heavenly materials for cultivating the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Skill on this trip over.
So thought I’d check out the place where the casuals set up their stalls first.
“At the intersection of the Western and Southern districts, there are a few streets that are set aside for people to set up stalls and trade freely.”
“Things are a bit cheaper there than in the stores, but there are quite a few pitfalls and not much chance of picking up a bargain.”
“If you want to buy something, you should still try to find a regular store to buy it.”
Lu Miaogao sniffed and guessed Lu Changsheng’s intentions and spoke out to remind him.
“I’m just more curious about this kind of stall, and I want to see it and get up to speed.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Not that he had any thoughts of picking up the pieces and being cheap.
After all, these loose cultivators are at the bottom of the crawl, each are very shrewd, no means, how can they pick up from their hands.
Between the words, the two walked back to the Spirit Talisman Shop.
“Sister Lu!”
At that moment, a milky voice rang out.
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao looked over at the sound.
Only to see that ahead, a young woman with a dignified appearance, wonderful posture, and a plump body, carrying a three or four year old little girl child, carrying a food box, walked towards here.
It was the little girl child in the young woman’s arms that beckoned toward Lu Miaogao and shouted.
“Donger.”
This young woman was wearing a goose-yellow plain dress, with a head of black hair coiled into a woman’s bun and an ebony hairpin inserted diagonally, making her look dignified and elegant.
Seeing Lu Miaogao, she also walked quickly, bent slightly, and softly shouted.
Her face can not be said to be much beauty, can only be said to be pretty, willow eyebrows curved, peach lips and almond eyes, the tip of the nose is quite curved, there is a light mature and charming young woman flavor.
But her skin was white, both her pale face and the skin of her neckline, which was snow-white and delicate, powdery and flaky.
The snow-white skin and plump, round and proud body, like congealed fat, makes the young woman look like a ripe peach, giving people a sense of fullness and juiciness.
“Auntie Bai, Nui Nui, come serve Uncle Zhang his meal.”
Lu Miaogao obviously recognized the two and nodded with a light smile.
Transmitting to Lu Changsheng, he said, “This is Zhang Shan’s wife and daughter, who comes over every day to deliver meals to Zhang Shan.”
Zhang Shan inside the Spirit Symbol Shop also saw his wife and daughter coming and immediately got up, walking out of the door quickly.
First, he slightly arched his hand to Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng on the side, then explained, “Second proprietor, this is Clumsy, here to deliver my meal.”
“It’s okay.”
Lu Changsheng laughed.
Knowing that the latter explained this, he was worried that he, the new proprietor, would have a problem with it.
He is naturally indifferent to such things and will not say anything.
It just didn’t occur to me that Zhang Shan looked like he was fifty years old.
Not only was his wife an Immortal Cultivator, she was also so young, and his child was only three or four years old.
But when you think about it, this kind of thing is perfectly normal.
Most Immortal Cultivators choose to start a family and have babies only when they are older.
Moreover, this woman looked lightly mature and charming, only twenty-eight or eighty-nine years old, but in reality, it was not necessarily so.
After all, most of the female cultivators would buy face nourishing pills and face restoring pills.
Like Lu Miaogao, it was obvious that she had also taken the Facial Residence Pill.
With Lu Changsheng five years ago, when he first saw her, the appearance was similar, still looking twenty years old.
This made Lu Changsheng think about purchasing a Face Resurfacing Pill for his concubines as well.
He practiced the Immortal Stance Technique, which not only enhanced his charisma, but also immortalized his youthful appearance.
But his wives and concubines couldn’t, and except for Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen who were able to cultivate, the others were mortals who would gradually grow old.
However, thinking about the price of the Resident Skin Pill, and the fact that he would have to give gifts, things, more than ten at once, Lu Changsheng again could only dismiss the idea for the time being.
Lu Miaogao also didn’t chat with Zhang Shan to say anything more, only for a slight nod of her head, her face was clear and cold as she led Lu Changsheng to the third floor.
She was usually basically on the third floor, either cultivating and resting or drawing talismans, rarely on the first floor.
Now there’s another Lu Changsheng on the third floor.
However, Lu Miaogao was quite familiar with Lu Changsheng and wasn’t shy about sharing a room with him as a man and a woman.
At this time, Lu Miaogao also said to Lu Changsheng that even though Zhang Shan was an old man of the store, he couldn’t act too close.
If you get too close, you will not be able to manage it well later.
Regarding this reasoning, Lu Changsheng naturally understood and nodded his head in response.
Lu Miaogao then talked to Lu Changsheng about some store matters and management experience.
They were all shallow and easy to understand experiences, most of which Lu Changsheng understood.
After all, if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen a pig run.
In his last life, under the baptism of Big Data, Lu Changsheng still knew quite a lot about the truth in terms of the art of harnessing people.
Of course knowing is knowing, and doing it when the time comes is definitely another thing.
“Sister Miaoge, I thought before that you were the kind of fairy who didn’t eat the earth, I didn’t expect that you actually know so much, it makes me feel like I’m reacquainting myself with you.”
After hearing Lu Miaogang’s words, Lu Changsheng smiled and joked.
Today can be said to let him see another side of Lu Miaogao, so chatting will not be as constrained as it was originally.
When Lu Miaogao heard this, she couldn’t help but smile, like an immortal blooming, moving beyond compare.
“I don’t know if you’re complimenting me or undermining me with that.”
“But I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Lu Miaogang’s eyebrows were like a painting, and with a light smile, she said, “Alright, I’m going to make talismans, so you can go to the rest room to rest, or to cultivate.”
“There’s nothing going on in the store on weekdays, and if there’s something going on, Zhang Shan and the others will come and inform.”
Lu Miaogao said this, then got up and went to the talisman room to meditate on making talismans.
Lu Changsheng nodded and went to the rest room to rest.
After all, they hadn’t gotten much rest in the first two days of rushing.
Although we can’t talk about how sleepy and tired we are, we do need to recover from our mental fatigue through sleep.
After a little while, Lu Changsheng saw that Lu Miaogao was still in the talisman room and was a little bored, so he looked for something to do and came to the second floor.
Taking a look at the talisman making level of the two girls, Li Shi and Wang Dance, he was prepared to instruct the two girls on their talisman making skills.
He possessed the second-order talisman-making skill given by the system, and his basic knowledge of talismans was solid and incomparable.
It’s not at all comparable to the kind of thing that you can learn to figure out on your own.
Not to mention mentoring two apprentice talisman makers.
Even that grandmother of his, the fourth elder of the Lu Family, a first-order top runic master, he was able to give him a few pointers.
“Second proprietor!”
“Second proprietor!”
On the second floor working hall, Li Shi, who was making talisman paper, and Wang Dance saw Lu Changsheng come, and immediately their eyes lit up, stopping the work in their hands and Ying Ying shouted.
The voice couldn’t help but sound a little crisper than usual.
“I came over to see how good you guys are at making talismans, and to give you some pointers on how to make talismans.”
Lu Changsheng spoke out.
The two women in front of him were not bad looking, not to say that they looked much more beautiful, but they were still considered to be showy.
After all, they were also the offspring of Immortal Cultivators, and genetically they were generally not bad.
However, he didn’t have any thoughts about the two women in front of him.
He wanted to find women with spiritual roots to have babies though.
But not so much as to see a female and have someone give birth to their baby.
Besides, it’s only been in the store, and he hasn’t done anything, so what’s it like to lay hands on the apprentice himself.
Not only did it affect Lu Miaogao, the Fourth Elder’s perception of himself.
His own reputation in the Lu family, which had just gotten a little better, was going to stink again.
It’s not necessary. It pays for itself.
“Thanks to the second proprietor.”
“Second proprietor, please sit down.”
The two women looked at Lu Changsheng and said in a pasty voice, serving the chairs and making the tea.
“What talismans have you learned now?”
Lu Changsheng waved his hand and inquired.
Immediately, the two women named the talismans they knew.
They had been coming to the Spirit Talisman Shop for five or six years, and all of them knew about ten to twenty basic talismans.
This is also because, as an apprentice, you have to learn many different talismans in order to create benefits for the store.
Although basic talismans don’t make much money, as a spirit talisman store, you have to have enough talisman types.
“Alright, you guys draw me the talismans you’ve been practicing lately.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said.
Immediately, both women took out talisman pens, talisman paper, and spirit ink, and began to make talismans.
“Pfft!”
At this point, Li Shi was halfway through drawing, and there was a failure, with green smoke coming out of the talisman paper.
At once, he stammered to Lu Changsheng with some urgency, “Second proprietor, I’m sorry, I, I’m a bit nervous.”
She was usually very cheerful, but in front of Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
“What are you nervous about, I’m not a flooding beast, it’s not like I’m going to eat anyone, just fail and continue.”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile and waved his hand.
Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s comforting and smiling smile, a blush suddenly appeared on Li Shi’s delicate face.
The whole thing was getting a little hard to breathe, and his heart was racing.
There are a lot of handsome-looking men in the world.
But how many men are there who are handsome, have a good family, and are also mid-grade talisman masters?
At least Li Shi was usually basically out of contact, so Lu Changsheng’s smile caused Li Shi’s heart to palpitate and she appeared even more nervous.
“You’re blushing a bubble teapot!”
Lu Changsheng was a bit speechless for a moment when he saw the other party blushing and the wistful look on her face.
I haven’t done anything yet, and you’re like this?
“Without realizing it, have I become so charming.”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but let out a sigh of emotion in his heart.
It also suddenly dawned on me that I wasn’t the same person I once was.
Not only are they handsome, but they are also considered to be young and golden.
Hmph, vulgar woman!
Lu Changsheng gathered his smile, his expression indifferent, his tone flat, “Continue.”
At this moment, he vaguely had a few moments in his heart to understand why Lu Miaogao didn’t like to smile anymore, and had a bland and dusty look on her face the whole day.
That’s the trouble with good looks.
“Yes, second proprietor.”
When Li Shi heard this, she quickly nodded her head and immediately meditated, not daring to look at Lu Changsheng much as she resumed drawing talismans.
Lu Changsheng could tell that the two women were quite solid in terms of basic talismans.
All of them were almost ready to try and learn to draw lower-grade talismans.
However, he didn’t have the idea of teaching the two girls to draw lower-grade talismans for the time being.
Once the two women started learning to draw lower-grade talismans, then most of their time and energy would be spent on lower-grade talismans.
Currently work is delayed.
It would be better to let the two girls continue to build a foundation, and then try the lower-grade talismans when they were thoroughly solid.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng instructed and taught the two women to make talismans with a bland expression.
It made the two apprentices feel that this second proprietor, who spoke more thoroughly than the great proprietor, made it easy to understand and benefit from.
“Okay, you guys practice more on your own in general.”
“After some more time and good behavior, I’ll teach you the lower grade talismans.”
After Lu Changsheng drew a pie, he left the second floor.
He could clearly feel that even if he acted with a face of indifference, he hadn’t dissuaded the two women in the slightest.
It was estimated that he only had to wave his hand and the two apprentices would voluntarily stick up to him.
He still didn’t have any ideas though.
As usual, it’s not necessary and it pays for itself.
“Say, is that peachy?”
Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.
“Thank you, Mr. Second Owner!”
“Thank you, Mr. Second Owner!”
When the two women heard this, they were both overjoyed, and it was as if water was dripping from their eyes as they looked at Lu Changsheng.
Handsome, with a good family, and a mid-grade talisman master, he was simply the love of his dreams.
“If only I could marry the second proprietor.”
After seeing Lu Changsheng’s back disappear, Li Shi whispered softly under her breath.
“Little ninny’s a nymphomaniac, springing to life, isn’t she?”
To the side, Wang Dance made a snide remark.
“Er Dongpai is so handsome, soft-spoken, and a mid-grade talisman master, don’t you like it?”
Li Shi faced Wang Dance’s jab and said with a straight face.
“I like it, but so what if I like it, where are we worthy of this second proprietor, even if I marry him as a concubine, I’m satisfied.”
Wang Dance also said with a straight face.
Lish was also a bit deflated when she heard this.
There were more men than women in the Immortal Cultivation World, so the wonderful female cultivators were very popular.
Like the two of them, they naturally had suitors on weekdays, and many people came to their door to talk about marriage.
However, they had a small talent in talisman making and were expected to become grade entry talisman masters in the future.
As long as one became a talisman master, even if it was only an entry-level talisman master, when the time came to marry, one would be able to marry into a nice and good family.
But at this time, in front of Lu Changsheng, the thought of talking about marriage could not help but feel a little inferior.
